I hope someone can recall the details.
There's a story that chazal said something is a certain way, they were told that science says otherwise, so they paskened according to that.

(An actual Shakespeare quote can temporarily be found below this post.)

For posterity, Randomex’s current signature is:

Quote
Such outward things dwell not in my desires. But if it be a sin to covet honour, I am the most offending soul alive.

Upon further research, you're right. It's a fake. It's from Italy though.
